About GHRI Ratings

X

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.

Cons

A potential safety hazard at the hoods frame as it closes

Tough to push over grass, gravel, and especially cobblestone

Testers had a difficulty reclining the seat

The Aura Elite folds down easily with one hand and offers lots of under-stroller storage, cup holders, and a childs tray

The Aura Elite folds down easily with one hand and offers lots of under-stroller storage, cup holders, and a childs tray. However, the hood is small and doesnt provide much coverage, the seat harness was difficult for our testers to operate, the handle isnt adjustable, and the stroller didnt perform well in our terrain tests. GHRI engineers also spotted a safety hazard: a pinch point at the hoods frame as its closing, which could nip a young childs finger. Available in Blue/Brown, Green/Black, Pink/Grey, Gold/Green, Blue/Green and Taupe/Cream at evenflo.com.
